10 Things I've Learned from Queer Eye.

I admit it. I watch "Queer Eye" on Bravo. I like all the hustle and bustle of the preparation of the "Big Event" and then watching it actually come together as a big success or a complete flop. I DVR new episodes and watch them whenever I get a few free minutes.

Watching these guys make over these pseudo-slobs, I've learned a few things about dress and fashion that I've actually applied to my own life. If I were to try, really hard, I bet I could easily think of 10 things i've learned from watching Queer Eye.

Here goes...

1.) Splash a dash of cologne on your chest before you dress in the morning. The heat from your body activates the cologne and you smell fresh all day long.

2.)Black shoes? Black belt. Brown Shoes? Brown Belt. Mix and match at your own peril.

3.) 3 hampers for the men's bedroom. 1 for lights. 1 for darks. 1 for dry cleaning. (I have yet to put this particular tip to use. I prefer the pile on the floor by the hamper method. I clearly need more hampers.

4.) When killing a lobster for food preparation, use one swift, killing stroke. Going slowly is painfuland cruel for the lobster.

5.) Wow, there sure are a lot of cheeses out there.

6.) Moisturize, Moisturize, moisturize. Your skin will thank you for it.

7.) Wearing a long, dumpy sweater? Tuck it in, in the front and puff it out like a regular shirt. This accentuates your nice waist line.

8.) All nudists are old, fat hippies.

9.) When hanging pictures, break up the straight horizontal lines of the picture frames by making a sort of wall collage. It's visually more interesting.

10.) Don't be afraid of wearing colors. You can't carry the black/grey/khaki's look out of college forever.

+1. Don't be afraid to dance when a pretty girl comes up and invites you. Confidence can be faked and if you keep your movements sort of simple and rhythm based, you'll be fine. On a dance floor, everybody else is too busy dancing with someone else, to notice you and your silly dance.

Thanks, Queer Eye!
